Bio: Michelle Graham loves the movies. Everyone she knows knows she loves the movies, mostly because she never shuts up about them. Every since she was little, her favorite treat has been a trip to the cinema, and with the help of a regular income, she now goes pretty regularly. That is, when she's not studying for her PhD in computing and sitting for hours in front of some form of monitor. Ever the optimist, she waits patiently for Disney to make another animated movie like Aladdin or Beauty and the Beast (it’ll probably never happen), and hopes that she’ll someday be able to catch up on all the movies she’s missed out on. Oh, and she dreams of someday getting a room built in her house just to house all her DVDs. She can also be read on her own blog (when she remembers to update it) at: Absolute Rubbish (http://drusilla-rb.livejournal.com/).
